Coaching, hot goaltender, and randomness of hockey in a single game elimination format

The chance of that team beating Russian in a 7 game series almost zero. 1 game in hockey? Sure why not

This is the big one, IMO. We see hot goalies carry teams through NHL playoff runs every year.

After the 1st period the Soviet coach Tikhonov pulled goaltender Vladislav Tretiak, he was considered by many hockey people the best goaltender in the world at the time and maybe the GOAT.
